Shipping carriers charge for freight based on either the volumetric or dimensional weight, whichever is greater. This is because a box can take up more space than its weight will allow charges for.
To calculate the dim weight of a package to be shipped via air freight use the formula below:
Air FreightL × W × H (in inches) ÷ 166
Air freight dimensional weight.
To calculate the dim weight of a package to be shipped via ocean freight use the formula below:
Ocean FreightL × W × H (in inches) ÷ 1728
The result in cubic feet is the dimensional weight.
